The Skin-Plumping Smoothie
When I shot a Stylefile segment for Good Day LA., they wanted a smoothie of sorts, so I created this recipe right before shooting. Sylefile segments are not live, so there were plenty of cutaway shots, holding the ingredients in my hands a few times, pouring and...
Why We Should Let Our Underarms Detoxify
I was in a spa recently and I noticed they had aerosol Secret deodorant/antiperspirant sprays next to disposable razors. It made me cringe!! Many of us women tend to shave our armpits in our morning shower, only to put on deodorant/antiperspirant moments later. When...
More Random Thoughts: Raw Food, Yoga…
Yes, my brain does like to jump around sometimes. Not in a frenetic ADD way, but more in a way where I get really excited about a lot of different thoughts all at the same time that I want to share! While they don’t all really seem interrelated- well, I think...
Why Table Salt Makes You Fat and Bloated
When it is this cold, I do love the occasional hot soup. If possible- I would rather make it myself to avoid unhealthy fats. If the soup is a clear vegetable soup, similar to my cauliflower soup recipe. I do not worry so much about the soup being cooked-as it will...
How To Eat Soup
So last night I ate at a Vegetarian Thai restaurant and had my favorite soup of all time: Tom Kha. The base of this soup is coconut milk, and it is traditionally and usually made vegan (you could ask if you're not sure at a particular restaurant). When I do eat some...

Proper Travel Snacks!
When I get back from any kind of traveling I have to get myself back into my busy life, with the many different hats I wear! It takes me a minute when I've been away to get back in, so don't feel alone if this is how you feel at times. ;)There was an assignment I had...

Hope you are having a wonderful week so far. :) Well here I am back in LA! It is Thurs. morning here, and thankfully I am just now getting a moment to catch my breath and be fully aware of my surroundings. I was going to fly here on Tuesday, as I had this event...
What’s Good for You is Good for the Planet
Happy Earth Day! Though we should be thinking of the earth all the time, it’s great that we have one designated day. What’s really awesome is that whatever is good for us, health-wise (like foods that help burn fat), is also good for the planet! It just shows how very...
GOOD MORNING! How is Your Colon This Morning??
This phrase cracks me up! I actually borrowed it from Dr. Norman Walker, one of my favorite holistic doctors who wrote entire books about the colon, and lived to be I think 116! But seriously, let’s keep in mind that you are not cleansing unless toxins and waste are...
